One Hundred and Twenty Eighth In-Depth Reconnaissance

If it weren't for the fact that the train factory is the military's most important pheromone producing area, the ant hunter team might have become an empty shell long ago.

Ye Han grinned: "Well, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't play around with me, you're sleepy."

Long Jianguo's expression suddenly seemed to swallow a fly, and he stared at Ye Han for several seconds before he said sullenly, "I have a reconnaissance mission tomorrow, and I need you to lead the team to carry it out."

"Me? Lead the team?" Ye Han was stunned.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you?" Long Jianguo sighed helplessly, "You are the only officer left for me now."

"Me? Forget it, I'm a Xibei guy, what kind of officer are you?" Ye Han pouted and looked away, his lonely gaze fell through the car window on the neatly parked armored vehicles under the roadbed.

Long Jianguo's eyes sparkled: "I don't need you to be, I just need the soldiers to think you are, and I know what level you are."

Ye Han pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "What's the task tomorrow?"

Long Jianguo quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Reconnaissance, tomorrow's task is to reconnaissance the ant-occupied area."

"Isn't it enough to send reconnaissance planes?" Ye Han asked in surprise.

"Does the plane know if there are ants in the burrow?" Long Jianguo asked back, "You must try to find out the ant colony deep in the ant-occupied area."

"Oh!" Ye Han nodded, "Is there any task briefing?"

"No." Long Jianguo shook his head and explained, "It is to check the number of ant colonies, the relationship between ant colonies, cooperation or mutual checks and balances."

"This is too general." Ye Han shook his head and smiled wryly, "How do I know if the two groups of ants have diplomatic relations?"

"That's not easy. Look at the worker ants. If they don't fight, they're a gang. If they fight, they're hostile. When there's a fight, whichever nest produces more ants will be stronger." Long Jianguo gave a very vivid example.

Ye Han seemed to realize something: "If you say that, I understand a little bit. If it doesn't work, I will record what I see. You can analyze it yourself when you come back."

Long Jianguo's cheeks twitched, and he nodded sharply: "That's fine, you can figure it out!" He no longer had any hope for tomorrow's mission.

Speaking of which, Long Jianguo was about to leave.

Ye Han quickly stopped him: "Don't worry, I still have requests."

"What request, you say!"

"I'll change the car and add a few more people. The weapons and equipment are up to me. Is it okay?" Ye Han asked.

"What should I do? It's okay. I'll provide you with all the equipment. As long as we have the equipment, you can choose whatever you want. If you don't have it, I'll find a way to adjust it for you." Long Jianguo agreed without hesitation.

"That's not necessary, I can choose whatever I want." Ye Han smiled, and said to himself that he must get a few more pieces of good equipment this time.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Long Jianguo prepared the equipment Ye Han needed. Ye Han and the five soldiers who participated in the mission ate a full meal of ant meat buns, and then packed and brought more than 30 to prepare for the journey. After eating, I boarded the armored vehicle with a full belch.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling engines, the armored vehicle drove into the ant-occupied area.

Probably because it was too early, and after entering the ant-occupied area, I didn't see half of the giant ants. The armored vehicle slowed down and stopped at the edge of the ant-occupied area. Ye Han counted the anthills in sight and wrote down the detailed numbers on the form.

Immediately, a glass bottle containing pheromone was thrown out of the car, and the veteran shot the glass bottle. A few minutes later, several giant ants emerged from the nearby anthill, and Ye Han also recorded the number of giant ants.

The armored vehicle continued to move forward, stopped again after one kilometer, and recorded the number of anthills and giant ants for the second time.

Stopping and walking like this, it didn't take long to go into the ant-occupied area for more than ten kilometers, and the form in Ye Han's hand filled a whole page.

The sun gradually rose, and giant ants leaving the nest finally appeared in front of them. Ye Han recorded the location where the giant ants were found: 16 kilometers away from the border of the ant-occupied area.

After going deep into the ant-occupied area for more than 20 kilometers, the armored vehicle drove into an abandoned village.

The houses in the village are still in good condition, but there is not a single person in sight, and there are no giant ants infested. There are only human bones scattered in the grass, silently telling the misery of the past.

The soldiers looked at the scene outside the car in amazement, and the veteran murmured to himself with his eyes wide open: "What a crime!"

"Damn ants!" A soldier gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists.

The soldier's name was Fu Xiaorui, and he was a machine gunner temporarily assigned by Long Jianguo to Ye Han.

Ye Han said quietly: "The evil here is not made by ants."

Fu Xiaorui was startled: "What is it if it's not an ant?"

"It's a praying mantis, a giant mantis!" Ye Han exhaled two puffs of thick air from his nostrils, "Ants are used to dragging their prey back to their nests before eating them, and mantises grab and eat them wherever they are."

"Ye Pai, have you ever seen a giant mantis?" Fu Xiaorui asked curiously.

Ye Han sighed: "Yes, I almost died in the hands of the giant mantis. If it weren't for luck, I wouldn't be alive now."

The veteran urged: "Platoon leader, tell us about the giant mantis. If we encounter one, we should be prepared!"

Ye Han shook his head: "No need, the giant mantis has been chased away by the giant ants. If we go north, we might meet it, but if we go south, we definitely can't. Besides, the giant mantis can't do anything to armored vehicles, so just keep your hearts in your stomachs." Bar."

He knew the warriors were interested in the Giant Mantis, but he really didn't want to bring it up, to uncover the scars that hadn't healed yet.

The disappointment on the faces of the soldiers was undisguised, but Ye Han turned a blind eye.

Moving on, Ye Han found a nest of giant ants acting collectively when he entered the ant battle zone for more than 30 kilometers.

The ant colony moved very fast, and without giving them a chance to count them all, Ye Han could only make another note on the form: "The number of giant ants in a colony is 300 to 400.

At this time, Huya suddenly exclaimed: "Look, the city wall is a color steel city wall!"

Ye Han raised his head in surprise, turned his head to look outside, and indeed saw the towering colored steel city wall.

Jingjiang, actually returned to Jingjiang!

Looking at the city walls still surrounding Jingjiang City in the distance, the scenes in Jingjiang suddenly appeared in Ye Han's mind, and he couldn't help being in a trance for a while, feeling a little bit like a world away from the bottom of his heart.

Curiously, the soldiers leaned behind the narrow car window and stared at the Jingjiang River, wanting to see the world-famous colored steel city wall.

Ye Han knew better than anyone that most of Jingjiang's city walls were made of steel and cement connecting buildings, and the colored steel structure only accounted for about a quarter of the total length.

However, the impression left by this city wall to the outside world is only the color steel plate, and there are large pieces of color steel plate, so it is called the color steel city wall.

"Ye Pai, I heard that you came from here?" The veteran couldn't hide the curiosity in his eyes, "Can you tell us what happened back then?"

When the others heard this, they turned their eyes to Ye Han in unison.

Ye Han pursed his lips: "There is nothing to say, but the giant ants came and forced the higher-ups to give up Jingjiang."
